Mike Zimmer feasted during odd seasons (playoffs in 2015, 2017 and 2019). He was finally undone with two subpar in a row (2020 and 2021).

O’Connell has worked even-year magic (27 combined wins in 2022 and 2024).

The Vikings haven’t made the playoffs in back-to-back seasons since 2008 and 2009.

3 playoff wins in 21 years of the Wilf era is pathetic.

I think this points to one ever living resounding piece of evidence.  The Vikings can not and have not found a consistent franchise starting Quarterback.  I would say since 2009, our best quarterback has been Kirk Cousins....  Teddy may have been close, but look around...  It's been a shit storm at QB, heck even all the way back to the Tommy Kramer days ...who himself couldn't stay healthy.(Daunte Culpepper may have been the closest before the knee blowout)
